De Wet’s absence leaves a significant void, particularly in his dynamic playmaking behind the scrum. His adept support play on the attack has been a cornerstone of the team’s strategy.

However, the Capetonians possess depth in the scrumhalf position. World Cup-winning No 9 Herschel Jantjies is ready to step up, bringing his own brand of skill and flair.
Stefan Ungerer, who is on the bench for the URC clash with Leinster in Cape Town on Saturday, showcased his abilities against Ospreys last week.
